Hi, I have a civic with 115K on it. Lately it doesn't like starting up
after the engine has been off for less than five minutes. It only happens
when I run into a store and come out again. I call it my Starbuck's
problem. 2 Mechanics have told me there's nothing wrong with my car.

On Saturday my wife and I both drove the 4 cylinder automatics and really
like both the Honda and Toyota.  I couldn't find any significant difference
but my wife liked the looks of one better than the other and she can't
recall which one because we also drove the Mitsubishi ...

I have a 2003 accord with about 32k on it.  For the past 3-4k I have
add these unusual loud noises from my engine when I first drive the
car after it has been idle for 2-3 hrs.  It sounds similar to chugging
noises that comes from a lawnmower.  Took it to a dealership to get it

Last year at this time I had to have 3 mounts replaced. I am a girl in

I had a 2002 Accord SE (lease) and when the lease ended I got a 2005 EX. There are some very nice new features in the new 2005 that I didn't have in the 2002 - such as the 5 speed automatic transmission, better torque, radio-controls on the steering wheel, no more wind noise at ...

I recently acquired a 1987 HF, which runs great and gives me around

I love my 2003 Accord EX.  But I have a problem that the dealer says
will only cost me about $1000 to fix.  Last week my radio display just
went dark - couldn't see anything - no climate information, time, radio
stations, etc.  Nothing.  The unit continued to work OK - I can still

I am not affiliated with Honda or any of their dealerships.  I used to
be, though, so I have a little bit of insight into the retail side of
things.  I just thought I'd post some general information that might be
useful for anyone considering the purchase of a new Honda, as a way ...

I was driving to work today doing about 30-50mph, when I noticed my
